GOTW #135 - Crystal Towers
News posted 21st May, 2005 by *The* Chris Street
It's time for some computin', and with ye Godly admin powers, the award goes to David Newton, with his wonderful Crystal Towers. Click here to download the GOTW This weeks entrants (yes, we don't normally accept fan-games, but after a discussion with the admin team, we felt these two are different enough to be included) - Mario Adventure, Metroid: Ripped Worlds, and Webit. For GOTW I'll reiterate again, this is what you have to do, go to DC and submit a damn game, and make sure it isn't poo. Tweet

Thank you for voting! In return, this should make things easier - Up, Down, Left, Right, hold A and press Jump on the title screen (before the menu appears).

I dont ever vote on the GOTW poll because I never play them all.

Apps can get on GOTW :) But AOTW doesn't have the same ring to it.

Downtime wasn't nominated because it was here two years ago and came second in the TDC Winter Sports Competition. I'm not going to submit a game twice to DC, like when I did when Titan Omega Alpha was revamped and had its problems sorted out. Oh, I got a right ear bashing for that.

I thought he said he didn't actually release it before, just as a competition entry.

this voting is rigged by the mafia

The competition entry looked pretty complete to me. Just imagine if Eve submitted Super Santa Snowland to TDC and it ended up in GOTW... there'd be an outrage.

DownTime was in fact never submitted to this site (though I forgive Circy for thinking that it was: a load of my old stuff got deleted when Shadowcaster threw a hissy fit and wiped my account), it was only submitted to the christmas competition. I can't say I'm real cut up about it not being included, though. I need a GOTW like I need a blonde mirkin.

"Up, Down, Left, Right, hold A and press Jump on the title screen (before the menu appears)." Very much like the cheat for the first Sonic the Hedgehog game on the Genesis.

Yeah, I mentioned that in a chat yesterday. How original.

wooh, vote Webit :P

Yes, Wong told me that Sonic inspired that cheat.

now that's lack of originality XD Poor [whoever made WebIt]. webit's losing the GOTW to a game that was made in like 2 minutes XD

Well best of luck Simon. Your game deserves it more than mine. Mainly because, well, my game doesn't contain a single original pixel. :P I take that back... I made the menu text. XD

It was meant to be so that you could think to yourself "I recognise that!" and be smug about it for a while, but you could call it that as well.
